To be able to include a ceramic material.

For example, the first heating heater 111 may include a support 111a, an electrode pattern 111b, and a protective layer 111c as shown in FIG. 7.

At this time, the support 111a may be made of a ceramic material, and the electrode pattern 111b may be formed on one surface of the support 111a.

Accordingly, when the power is applied, the heat generated in the electrode pattern 111b moves to the support 111a made of a ceramic material and is rapidly transferred to the entire area of the support 111a, thereby increasing the heating area and simultaneously heating the entire area. This can be done.

In the present invention, the support 111a may be made of a ceramic material having heat resistance to withstand a high temperature of 100°C or more when the electrode pattern 111b is heated.
